This is my Heritage cook for the guru challenge.

I am Cherokee and English

English on my Father side is Ancestered back to Samuel Prescott who rode with Paul Revere

"The British are coming"

One was killed by beheading and the other became lost in the woods..as the story goes..

My Great grandmother was full bloodied Cherokee on my Daddy side and my Mother side.

We are a part of the Eastern band Cherokee..which lives on the Reservation in North Carolina which we visit every year.

So I dedicate my cook in memory of all those loss on the "Trail of Tears"

I grew up eating lots of corn bread..This particular one reconize as the original recipe of the Cherokee People.

Cherokee Bean Bread

Ingredients:

For my beans,I chose Pinto beans.

Cooked 300* for 2 hours.

Now time to mix Dry ingredients.

Then add all wet ingredients in the dry ingredients

Once my beans were done.I drained and folded them in.

Then pour in a lightly greased dish

Put on the grill with a temp of 425*

for 35 mintes or so

This is my plated shot:

* cherokee didnt add salt.so I stuck to recipe. .we had gravy with this and the gravy was a bit salty..so it work great..but if no gravy..may want to add some salt.

*Note: if adding salt..Dont omit egg or it will fall apart.

Thanks for looking

Yep...ckreef and I would be on your team for a Steak like that anytime

Wow! Thank you for some Head swelling...lol

Your slice of cake look so good

I think you recover from lopsidedness very well..you get a A-..keep up the good cooks..im watching :lol

Love Italian foods..a very nice entry..now I got to get mine done today..hope it pans out like yours did.great job

Thanks tinyfish..yes it is a easy and very good dessert...it is worth a days travel for.

I'll say it was a complete success! Everything looks delicious from this end.

Thank you...Poochie...I was glad it came out ok...I love making dessert..im really still full from dinner...but maybe I can eat one more bite of the cimmon bread for brunch...

Your PB turned out great. Looks like it pulled perfectly.

Pass a message along to Mrs.SK tell her that dessert looks fantastic to say the least. I'm glad that dessert is all the way in GA or else I'd be on my way over to the Bistro.

I'm heat soaking my KK for a little Pepper wine beef picture to follow.

Or, like I posted in the other thread, smothered in sausage gravy for breakfast doesn't suck either!!

I make Sausage gravy for ckreef from time to time..with biscuits..a great breakfast

Looks great!

One more stupid question from the damn Yankee: I now know that cat head biscuits are named because of how they compare to, well, a cat’s head. Is serving it with maple syrup part of the cat head biscuit experience? Or can you put any topping/spread/butter/whatever on it?

I mainly ask because I remember Mrs Skreef saying that she would make the biscuits if Bosco sent her some maple syrup, so I thought that the maple syrup might be a required ingredient.

O my you can put whatever you like on it..I actually ate honey with mine..sooooo good

Recipe for the cats head biscuits, pretty please.....?😊

Hey PRipply..I make cat heads with

2 cups all purpose flour (or bisquick)

2 tsp salt

1 T baking powder

1 T lard

2/3 cup milk

Sift flour and salt and baking powder together.

Add lard ( forking it in)

And then add milk

It wil be a wet dough..add flour to get a firm dough.

Bake on grill bout 375*

For bout 20 minutes or til brown.

*note make biscuits a large size..I got 4 out of this recipe.

With the cheese oozing out ,makes them more mouth watering..great cook

I have to agree with everyone else. Great meal..we cook fruit alot on the grill..fruit is a good ending to a meal.especially in the Summer.

Skreef,

What are "cat heads" ? Thanks.

A Southern biscuit "big as a cats head"

it is just lamb. No bacon. You spin them by sliding the tongs along them to rotate them. Very delicious

O ok bosco..they do look great

And bosceaux, now you know why I live in Oklahoma! Except for about 3 months in the Summer, life in Oklahoma is sweet. Lots of sunshine, temperate climate, not much real cold weather.

All the best up all my good Friends north of me! We've still got low 90s here.

I been to Olahoma and everytime I been there it was windy..but other than that it was great weather.loved your State

Bosco when ckreef gets another kk I would love so maple syrup..I will make some cat heads on the grill.that will make me a happy girl.since every tooth in my head is a sweet tooth

Bingo. There are actually four Chinatowns in New York City: Manhattan for tourists, Flushing for everyone in the know, and two more where many people live who work in the first two. The best bang-for-the-buck duck I've ever seen has been in the last two, including a slew of legs perfect for confit. Along with much else of interest. Games of name-that-ingredient are hardest in the last two, whatever one's upbringing.

I went to New York in 2002 and we walk all over there and also went down the street with all the out door resteraunts..we ate in little Italy..great food and they were great.very nice people there.but I remember walking pass some Chinese or Asian place where they sold there food..I didnt like the smell.but none the less I got to see all New York had to offer in all types of food..a wonderful experience. I love duck..it def has to be oil since it is such a dry meat

And you put alot of work in your peperation.great cook.thanks for sharing.

Reef sheepishly raises his hand - LOL

I agree redstick..my mom boil them too but much perfer tbem on the grill.even pan frying them are better than boiled and CC that was so wrong....lol..all im going to say..lol..i love them but ckreef and son dont eat them so I do without..I guess not a bad thing but I do buy a corn dog at a store when I am working sometimes..love the corn breading and got to have mustard with it..but I only get them only in a blue moon.

Hot dogs are MUCH better grilled in my opinion.

It's quite a lengthy process to fire up a Kamado for just a few dogs, but worth every second.

Just my opinion.

My dear Mom boiled dogs. She liked 'em that way and until I got old enough to be trusted with the Weber Kettle, when Dad wasn't home we ate boiled hot dogs. I hate boiled dogs. Give me a grilled dog every single time!

Funny story. When my son was about 4 years old, he only wanted to eat hot dogs. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Snacks. That was it, hot dogs. And the dogs were boiled! I decided him eating nothing but hot dogs was going to end. So Joe is sitting there at the table, packing back the hot dogs. Joes stabs another piece of hot dog and I ask "Hey Joe! You know what hot dogs are made from?" Joe shakes his head no. I tell him "They're made from assholes and eyeballs!". Joes fork hit the plate and he has never had another hot dog!

Great lokking cook..

When ckreef cook Ribs for the first time for me, he put his homemade blueberry bbq sauce on them.(this was before marrige)let me tell ya..he won me over..he stole my Heart.. along with my taste buds.lol

Cant go wrong with burgers and Ice Cream..a good dinner for a weekend.

ckreef, I hope you are taking pixs of the improvements so we can see what you are up to.

Mackenzie, we have been painting everyday this week.(priming first)and got a full day tomorrow to paint the final color.its seens a never ending project.but it will be well time spent since we love our space and spend all our time in it when we are home.

So what are these spiedini?? Are they wrap in bacon?you sure had you hands full with all the turning you had to do..ckreef and I love kabobs...we need to try..very awesome pic of all your work..I know it was great

They look great..I love bread on the grill..but hotdog buns are not one I should make since we dont eat hotdogs at our house.but I would love to try other breads

Look Rotisserie.one of my favs ways to cook chicken..hoping we will get one soon..awesome cook

Ribs looking good...hey we are roughing it to...but hopefully we will get our set up just like we like it soon..do what you got to do to get the job done right..great job!
